TOPICS THAT INTEREST ME: CURRICULUM CONNECTION:
Force and Motion, different ramp heights to send a car down on.
MY TESTABLE QUESTION:
How far in CM will the car go at different heights?
INDEPENDENT VARIABLE:
Distance a car goes.
DEPENDENT VARIABLE:
Heights of ramp 2. Investigate the Information:
NOTES/FACTS:
A force is needed to make an object accelerate,that is, change the object's speed or direction of motion. It also states that an object accelerates in the same direction as the force that is pushing or pulling.
NOW THAT I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH, I PREDICT THE ANSWER TO MY QUESTION WILL BE:
I predict that the lighter car will go farther than the heavier car.
3. Plan A Procedure:
this is where you put step by step detail of what you plan to DO.
Use 3 different weighing cars
Use 3 different angles
Do 3 different tests
4. What I'll Need:
I have these: I need to locate these:
1) Three cars, a ramp, a ruler.
2) distance, weight.
5. Keeping Track - Proposed Data Sheet
Cars+angles
Car1
Car2
Car3
final results
45< Angle
6in
8in
9in
23in
25< Angle
5in
7in
6in
18in
60< Angle
2in
3in
1in
6in
6. Analyze It All
Here's a Graph:
Used a program that didn't work.
The data shows that . . . .
The 2nd car went the farthest.
Therefore, I conclude that . . . .
The 2nd heaviest car traveld farther.
But was my work valid? . . .
My work is valid because I answered the question and made a data sheet for it.
